He got it from his mama.

Bear 89, aka Backpack, is the 2026 Fat Bear Week champ. Turns out hefty runs in the family.

His mom, Holly the Duchess of Density, won in 2019. She carried him on her back as a cub and helped him survive a serious leg injury. Now her little Backpack has a crown of his own. 👑

UW-Madison alum @devinmsilver was The Man in the Arena on Saturday.

After attending nearly every #Badgers home game in his four years as a student, it took a road game for him to see a signature win.

And yes — he plans to get the photo framed for his future man cave.

The Rock County conversation exploded after @WKOW’s reporting:

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

As A.I. becomes increasingly unpopular among voters, the politics of data centers are scrambling political lines across the country. “I’ve never seen engagement like this on any normal development issue,” a county supervisor in Southern Wisconsin said, about his constituents’ response to the planned construction of a data center. “People don’t like that they didn’t have a vote on whether social media could take over our society. And now people see A.I. getting ready to take things over and potentially upset lives, upset society, upset jobs, and they want the ability to have a say in that.” Read about the impact data centers are having in elections across the country—and especially in the Wisconsin governor’s race: https://t.co/yXfFXZCZhO
